Leno (hip), who was released by the Commanders on Friday, is scheduled to undergo hip surgery this week, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Leno, whose release saved Washington roughly $7.3 million in cap space, has been a solid starter at left tackle since being drafted by the Bears in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Three of Leno's four missed games last season were due to a hip injury, which it looks like his upcoming surgery should address without issue. Barring any setbacks in his recovery, the 32-year-old should garner interest as a short-term starter on the open market.
